"That is so," returned Edna, "I reckon I will let it go, but I don't see how I am going to give up any of them; they are all so pretty. I do love dolls."
"They are perfectly sweet," agreed Dorothy, "while Jennie's are even lovelier."
"They are bigger," said Edna, "but I don't think they are really any prettier, but Mrs. Ramsey's are perfectly magnificent. I wish I had Celia to help me dress mine; she does know how to make such pretty things."
"So does Agnes, but I tell you who will help us out, and that is Miss Eloise." Dorothy thought of this.
"So she will, though I expect she and Miss Newman will be busy making things themselves, for the bazar," replied Edna.
"But she can give us hints," Dorothy continued. "Oh, Edna, do you know I have thought of something."
"What?"
[133] "Why, we can write to our sisters and tell them about the bazar, and maybe they can make some things for it. We will ask them to. I know Agnes will."
"And I know Celia will. That is a lovely idea, but do you know, Dorothy, I have thought of something else that isn't a bit nice, and that is we won't have a penny to spend at the bazar ourselves."
"That is so. I never thought of it before. I shall hate to go and not buy a single thing, but it can't be helped and if we give the things we are getting to-day it will be the same as buying things."
